Back from the little jaunt.

It was a nice trip. My mother made enough food to feed approximately 34,732,351,754 people, so I am, actually, munching on leftovers as I type. Friday she made pigs-in-a-blanket and city chicken, and they were both quite tasty. Today for brunch we had lovely brunch items.

I stayed at the B&B in town, and it was absolutely lovely, except the teeny bathroom. The owner cooked two fabulous breakfasts and I loved them both quite a lot. Broiled peaches with granola and yogurt, and banana & pecan multi-grain pancakes...absolutely delightful.

My dad drove us all around for hours on Saturday. We ended up at a bookstore, and I (of course) had to spend half of the thirty minutes looking at unauthorized HP guides. (I'd never buy them; they seem to be a waste to me.) I also looked through a Photoshop magazine and was astonished at the wizardry within. They showed a picture of a model and took it step by step into a model with perfect skin, eye makeup, dress re-touching, and a completely different background. I mean, I understand that a lot of our ads and movies nowadays are altered, but still, it really drove it home.

We stopped at a little restaurant for lunch and they had a dry-erase board with specials on it. I am so internet obsessed that I thought one food item was listed as jalapeño.com when it actually was jalapeño, corn. I need to get out of the house more.

I remembered a really, really, really important plot point at some time in the last five days. So important that I was quite dismayed to see that I had left it out of the last chapter. Did I mention it was important? Ugh. So I spent about a half hour thinking how exactly I could fit it in and I came up with two mature, realistic options: squeeze it in, re-upload the chapters, and point everyone back to it at the next chapter; or just include it in the next chapter as part of a dream sequence. Great, right?

I've forgotten what the %*#&@^&* plot point was!!!

I've now wasted hours today trying to recall what it was. And I was all set to write the next chapter. (Somebody left me a review that said "OH MY GOD YOU BITCH" because I left it at such a cliffhanger! w00t!) I am just going to barge ahead wildly and hope that I recall it at some point.

Happy Birthday todayiamadaisy! I know I'm late, sorry. But happy to you anyway!

Aw! Chin up! Sometimes if I think about what I was doing when I remembered the first time...I'll remember it again. Weird...but true!
